Chapter 55: The Shadow of the Heavenly Mountains
The two escaped from danger, and Zhang Bao thanked the man in black for saving his life. The man in black took off his mask, and Zhang Bao took a closer look at it, and bowed down excitedly. It turned out that this person was none other than Zhou Maolan, the son of the late Zhou County Order.
Zhang Bao wept bitterly and said: "Childe, I haven't heard from you for a few years, and when I learned that you were being hunted down by traitors, I thought that you could have suffered an accident, but I never thought of meeting you here. ”
Mao Lan was also full of emotion in his heart, and he told Zhang Bao in detail about the situation outside for several years. Zhang Bao listened to it and hurriedly asked why Maolan returned to Suzhou?
Mao Lan told Zhang Bao that he was following Jinyiwei's official ship all the way to investigate their private collection of taxes. Zhang Bao listened and said to Mao Lan: "Now that the traitors in the court are in charge, they are tyrannical and tyrannical to the people, and if they continue like this, they will make people angry." ”
Mao Lan said angrily: "The culprit is Wei Zhongxian's eunuch, who excluded dissidents and persecuted Zhongliang, so that the court is now a flattering minister who tends to be inflammatory. ”
Zhang Bao sighed, but it was a pity that he was a grass people, and he couldn't get rid of the evil for the court, and now his father was also in prison and his life and death were uncertain, and he was helpless.
Mao Lan comforted her and told Zhang Bao not to act rashly, lest he would take his own life instead of rescuing Ling Zun. As a son of man, Zhang Bao saw his father being thrown into a prison that never saw the light of day, how could he not be anxious?
Although Mao Lan blindly persuaded hard, he didn't listen, and just thought about revenge. Zhang Bao has been by Zhang Huaishan's side since he was a child, and he is also well versed in the art of Qi Huang, so he first helped Mao Lan to examine the wound.
Zhang Bao found that purple stasis appeared around Mao Lan's wound, and the blood oozing from the wound had a hint of blue and black. He said to Mao Lan: "Childe, that Tian Ji's thousand-mile soul chasing palm, with yin poison, is really fierce and domineering. ”
Mao Lan asked Zhang Bao, but he could ask about the worry of his life, and Zhang Bao told Mao Lan that Tian Ji's palm poison was extraordinary, and it was not an ordinary treatment method that could get rid of the poison.
However, he told Mao Lan that there was no need to worry, his father Zhang Huaishan had traveled to the famous mountains and rivers for many years, and was quite familiar with all kinds of herbs.
Mao Lan listened and hurriedly asked Zhang Bao for diagnosis and treatment. Zhang Bao told Mao Lan that he must first use a sharp blade to extract the poisonous blood so that he could take grass to verify its toxicity.
Mao Lan said: "Brother Zhang is in charge of healing, and I can bear the pain. Zhang Bao nodded, took out a small sharp blade from the cloth bag in his arms, he put it in the fire to roast for a while, and then pulled out black blood from the wound on Mao Lan's back.
Then Zhang Bao took out a leaf of purple flowers and plants, and Maolan found that the whole flower was purple, without a trace of variegation. The leaves are rounded, and the veins are arranged like the spokes of a wheel. He had never seen this grass, so he asked Zhang Bao about the origin of this grass.
Zhang Bao told Mao Lan that this grass is called wheel grass, and it is extremely poisonous. It grows only in the cold of the mountains that are inaccessible.
Mao Lan said to Zhang Bao: "Just the color and shape of this grass are already very rare. ”
Zhang Bao took the wheel grass, put it into the medicine jar, mashed it with a pestle, and added some water and mixed well.
Then he dipped the wood chips in grass juice and applied them to Maolan's wounds. After the medicine was applied, he took out a piece of clean gauze, dipped a plaster around it, and applied it to Maolan's wound.
After Zhang Bao was busy, he told Mao Lan that he should not drink alcohol and spicy food for seven days, so as not to affect the healing of the wound.
Maolan thanked Zhang Bao, and Zhang Bao told Maolan that everything was a chance. If he hadn't bumped into Childe, he would have died a long time ago.
During the conversation between the two, a sad look appeared on Zhang Bao's face, and Mao Lan knew that he was worried about his father, so she asked him what his plans were?
Zhang Bao told Maolan that three miles east of the outskirts of the city, there was a village called Xiaoli Village. His old friends were there, and he was going to talk to them about what to do.
When Mao Lan heard this, she hurriedly comforted: "Brother Zhang, those Jinyi guards are all equipped with superior martial arts, you are bare-handed, aren't you a sheep into the mouth of a tiger, and you take your life in vain? Besides, there are many people with mixed mouths, if the plan is not appropriate, and someone leaks out, won't this also be wiped out?"
Zhang Bao listened, hugged his fist at Mao Lan and said: "Brother Zhou's words are heartfelt, but I saw my father fall into the hands of thieves, how can I not save him?" Even if you can't rescue your father, you can accompany him to die together, which can be regarded as fulfilling the filial piety of the son of man. ”
Seeing that Zhang Bao had made up his mind, Mao Lan knew that persuasion was useless, but she just told him to be more careful when he went, and not to act rashly when encountering danger. Zhang Bao nodded in agreement, and before leaving, Mao Lan took out two fire bombs from his arms and handed them to Zhang Bao.
After Zhang Bao took it, Mao Lan told Zhang Bao that this fire bomb can produce thick smoke and can help people escape at critical moments, so it must be used carefully.
Zhang Bao took the fire bomb into his arms, thanked Mao Lan repeatedly, and told him to be more careful. Mao Lan nodded, and after Zhang Bao finished speaking, he took advantage of the hazy moonlight to go to Xiaoli Village.
Erwang and Sun Dafu of Xiaoli Village were close friends of Zhang Bao, and Zhang Bao consulted them about how to save his father from danger.
Er Wang believes that they are all civilians who do not know martial arts, and they have no blades in their hands, so it is impossible to fight with the Jinyi guards, which is just self-destruction.
Sun Dafu and Zhang Bao agreed, and they asked Er Wang Ke if he had any good ideas. Erwang pondered for a moment, and he thought that he could explore the terrain around the prison, dig tunnels in the soft soil, and then sneak into the prison to save people.
Zhang Bao and Sun Dafu asked Erwang to formulate a feasible plan, and Erwang told them that he could only provide advice. Specifically, you need to find the right person to put the plan into practice.
Zhang Bao hurriedly asked Erwang if there was a suitable person? Erwang told Zhang Bao that Sun Sichang, a member of a neighboring village, sold firewood in the city and knew the environment in the city well, and that he also had a good relationship with Du Wu, the county cell boss.
Zhang Bao was very happy to hear this, and hurriedly asked Er Wang to find Sun Si. Erwang asked the two of them to wait at his house and went out to find Sun Si by himself.
At this time, Sun Si was at the house of his cousin Liao Gui, and Liao Gui was stabbed by Zhang Bao, but he did not die. It is also the life of this thief who should not be killed. His face was as pale as paper, and he lay on the bed and told Sun Si in a trembling voice about the scene of the previous night's horror.
Sun Si listened to it and comforted his cousin, asking him to recuperate from his injuries with peace of mind and then seek revenge on Zhang Bao.
Er Wang came to Sun Si's house and saw that the door of his house was locked, so he could only wait here. After about a pillar of incense, Sun Si walked slowly to his home.
When Erwang saw Sun Si coming back, he stepped forward to greet him. Sun Si asked him why he came to him so late? Er Wang told Sun Si that Zhang Bao wanted to save his father, so he came to him for help.
When Sun Si heard this, he secretly thought in his heart: "This is really a narrow road, I was worried that I couldn't avenge my cousin, and this guy actually hit the door by himself." ”
Thinking of this, Sun Si remained silent, he smiled and said to Erwang: "Since it is your friend, that is, my Sun Si's friend, I will go with you." ”
Er Wang was very happy and took Sun Si to find Zhang Bao and them. How did he know that if he wanted to set a trap to catch a tiger, how could he know that there were poisonous snakes in the forest? Sun Si had a grudge and followed Erwang to his home.
But it was said that Cunyi escorted Zhan Peng and Xiulan back to the Diancang faction, he remembered his senior sister Zi Yan, and the old monster with a thousand faces fled invisible, and the master was also unknown in life and death, all of this was like a mess of entanglements, waiting for him to sort out and untie it, so he rushed to Tianshan without stopping.
Zhao Qingyun knew that Yufeng Ji was attached to Cunyi, so he asked her to follow Cunyi all the way. Cunyi was very happy in his heart, so that he could eliminate the doubts in Yufeng's heart, and there were people on the road who could talk and relieve his boredom, although the journey was tiring, his heart was very happy.
Cunyi tied Qingteng tightly to himself and Yufeng's bodies, and came to the Cold Valley with her. Falling here before, Cunyi didn't pay attention to the scenery of the bottom of the valley.
As soon as they entered the valley bottom, a white mist slowly rose around the two. On both sides of the broken rock road, there are white and elegant flowers, and the fragrance of the flowers is like nothing, and people have a pleasant feeling when they hear it. Yufeng saw this flower,
I am amazed that the cold air at the bottom of this valley is extremely heavy, and the fact that this flower can grow in this desperate place shows the tenacity of its life.
She was about to reach out to pick it up, but Cunyi persuaded her. He warned Yufeng that this flower is not well-known to us, and if it is poisonous, what should we do?
Yufeng nodded, and the two of them walked along the narrow, winding rock, and then entered a deep and dark cave.
The cave is full of rocks, and the quartz glitters on the rock wall. Cunyi told Yufeng to watch her step.
As soon as he finished speaking, a melodious voice began to sound in the cavern. Listening carefully, his voice was made by the strange people who had rescued him in the past.
Cunyi happily greeted the stranger, but at this time, the stranger told Cunyi to hurry up and get out, he didn't want to see him.
Cunyi thought that the strange man was angry because he didn't show up for the appointment, so he explained to him that he had the default period because he was eager to save the teacher.
The strange man listened and said, "Fart, fart, I see that you are fascinated by the pretty girl next to you, so you forgot everything." ”
Yufeng heard the strange man's rude words, so he reprimanded him in a clear and tactful voice. She scolded well, and the strange man rolled in front of them like a ball of snow.
Yufeng looked at the person in front of him with his back to him, and his body was snow-white, which really reflected the white glass scene outside. If he stood outside, he didn't distinguish it carefully, and it really blended in with the snow.
He looked back, and a sneer appeared on his pale face. Yufeng saw his wrinkled face like the wind blowing the waves, and she shuddered in her heart.
Cunyi took her hand and told her not to be afraid, this senior would not hurt her. Yufeng leaned close to Cunyi's side.
At this time, the strange man saw it, but covered his eyes and did a somersault. Then he began to yell at Cunyi again, telling them to get out of the way.
Cunyi hurriedly asked the strange man why, and the strange man said: "It's sad to see or not to see, and it's better for one person to be sad than two to be sad." ”
Cunyi didn't understand the meaning, so the strange man asked him if he still liked Ziyan in his heart? As soon as these words came out, Cunyi stood in place in a daze, and Yufeng next to him was also looking at him with puzzled eyes.
Seeing that Cunyi couldn't answer, the strange man told him that if you couldn't give Zi Yan an explanation, why did you come to her? Cunyi told his seniors that he came to see her because he was worried about his senior sister.
The strange man sneered, and then said, "What is the point of seeing her and leaving her with a lifetime of pain? unless you can marry her and give her happiness." ”
Yufeng was shocked when she heard this, she bit her delicate lips and kept fiddling with her sarcas.
The strange man laughed and said, I think it's better to let me make a choice for you, after he finished speaking, he leaned over and grabbed Yufeng. Cunyi was shocked, how did he know that the strange man would actually hurt Feng'er, but the strange man's lightning-fast figure had already come to Yufeng.
